If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.

I think the way the media is going to work in the future is less something that the population consumes and more something that the population creates.

It's less about what you do and more about who you are doing it with.

My mom brought me up to be a feminist. She would always point out to my brother and me that our culture does often portray women like objects...

Movies are different from real life.

For context, the budget of Don Jon is about half the budget of (500) Days of Summer. And (500) Days of Summer is about a third of the budget of the lowest-budget movies produced at a major studio.

If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.
